Living in Los Angeles: Beverly Hills, CA
Think all the boons of the ‘burbs - quiet, safety, privacy - and all the glitz of the metro - shopping, dining, proximity. Trademarked with palm tree-lined lanes, wealthy movie people, and unshakeable sunshine, Beverly Hills is the better behaved and almost as famous next-door neighbor to Hollywood.
There’s more to Beverly Hills than the mansions dotting the stars’ maps for sale, or the West Coast’s Fifth Avenue and tabloid darling Rodeo Drive. Though Beverly Hills’ beginnings lie with Hollywood’s beginnings - the creme de la creme of the movie industry first settled there during the 1910’s - and while Beverly Hills remains home to some of the wealthiest in The Biz - capital “T,” capital “B” - once you get below Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills might pass for the sophisticated older sister to Los Angeles’ best west suburbs.
